It Has Finally Been Found: The Worst Wrestling Opinion

But you'd love the opinion if...

It took years - decades - of wading through the discourse, of finally putting the bad faith takes to one side and remonstrating with oneself to determine the absolute worst.

It's just ignorance regurgitated to validate their experience.

Pay no mind to the dipsh*t with the Fiend avi.

He cannot hurt you.

Poor blighter just needs his bowl of Booty-Os to get his blood sugar back up, and he'll be fine.

One such bad take was "Japanese crowds are dead". This is absurd, of course, to anybody who has watched a Japanese professional wrestling show for longer than two minutes and then didn't grow confused and irritable, and then didn't throw their own faeces at the screen when a General Manager didn't enter the ring and matter of factly explain to them the goings-on. It's no wonder these gibbering idiots can't determine the graduating noise that builds to a deafening crescendo in a classic puro match; were this transposed to a graph, the peak of which represents mass death from a disease, they wouldn't grasp that, either.

"It's just heel heat, he's doing his job!" is another wretched opinion that should be banned. If a heel enters a very boring TV performance on a cold TV show that haemorrhages viewers, this isn't "heel work 101".
